When the smoke cleared they were both back in her house, she just wanted to break down and cry. But she couldn't. She had to be the strong mother Roland needed to see. She looked at the little boy who was so frightened and so confused and sighed.
"Roland, how about I make you some hot chocolate and we can snuggle on the couch after you change" she said sitting on her knees face to face with him.
"Okay Gina" he said smiling, "Can we use magic?" he asked, his face was too cute, to not say no. Regina smiled and snapped her fingers he was instantly in his favorite spider-man jammies that she had bought for him not too long ago.
"Thanks Gina" he said running into the living room sitting on the huge couch in front of their flat screen TV. Regina brought him hot chocolate and started playing a movie. Robin Hood.
She shifted uncomfortably at the scenes of fox Robin and Marian, but she knew she had to explain to Roland that Marian was in fact his real mother. She knew exactly how Marian felt when she took Roland away. She watched Roland as the movie finished, he turned to her frowning.
"Gina, who is that lady with daddy?" he asked
"Baby, that's your other mommy" she said holding back her emotions
"But, you're my mommy" he said sternly
"Yes I am and I will always be your mommy, but that lady in the diner you remember?" she asked, he nodded his head
"Well she is the one who gave birth to you, like how Henry is your brother but his other mommy is Emma. Do you get it sweetie?" he nodded again
"But I want you to be my only mommy" he said hugging her, she took a deep breath. "I do too" she said under her breath, she stroked his perfect brown curls as he snuggled into her neck falling asleep within minutes. She picked him up and carried him into her room and set him on the bed, she changed into her silk pajamas and snuggled up next to him, knowing that this moment might be their last.
